Weird noise from wheel
Discussion
I was driving on the motorway other day and there was a noise under the car. Further on when I applied the brakes there was a scratching noise coming from from DS wheel although brakes were working ok. Also, the satnav on the speaker had a kind of inteference noise and it got worse as I applied the brakes. I thought maybe one of the brake pads had dropped out. I could not stop due to traffic. A few miles on there was another noise under the car and noise like a stone hitting the car. A bit later the brake sound stopped. I turned off satnav and then back on; the inteference had gone.
Could a pebble/stone had been caught up in the wheel? Was the intereference on the speaker linked to this or just a co-incidence?
Car seems to be driving ok now with good brakes etc. Speakers are working fine.

It turns out the radio noise was a red herring. I had the radio on a local station which went out of range as I drove out of the county.
However, on returning home I noticed there was akind of ribbon hanging from the under the car. I wonder if some cover has fallen off. Or has someone been trying to steal the cat.
I am going to take the car to the workshop to have it looked at this week.
